If the weather is fine here at Harvey Lake, you can go for a hike along the Jefferson Creek Trail; Lemiti Campground is a wonderful campground nearby. What a place this is for outdoors people. There is a magnificent hiking trail right next door to Harvey Lake called the South Breitenbush Trail, and Lake Hilda is a nearby lake that you could go to. This lake is so wonderful. If you came for an overnight stay Trout Lake Campground is a tremendous place to camp.

| | But wait, there's more cool stuff to do in the Central Cascade Range. After a long day outdoors Lodge at Suttle Lake is a good location to spend a night or two, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Metolius River. You get a good vista of Campbell Butte from Harvey Lake, and if you get bored of Harvey Lake you could also stop at nearby Papoose Lakes. Harvey Lake is a wet site that gets a good deal of precipitation; | |

December is when you get the most rain here, and July meanwhile is the driest month.
This lake is so wonderful. Kuckup Park is a beautiful place any time of year; there are some good whitewater spots on Marion Creek. Not enough
hours in a day to enjoy the Central Cascade Range. Hit the slopes at Hoodoo in the vicinity; the Cub Creek Trail is a glorious hiking trail nearby. This lake is one of the great places here in the Central Cascade Range.

This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map.... |
Jefferson Lake Trail
| I just completed this trail with my German Shepherd and had a great time. We made Jefferson Lake in 4 hours, stayed the night and returned at a faster pace, making the trailhead in 3 hours. A big portion of the trail is overgrown with 5ft. tall plant life, making the trail impossible to see. I used a compass to stay on course and bushwhack for about 3 miles, then picked up the trail again. It's obvious this trail hasn't received any attention from the forest service for some time now,so plan on using your nav skills on this one. We encountered a braver-than-average black bear while encamped at Jefferson Lake, and had difficulty finding a suitable place to hang a bear bag since all the trees are limbless due to a forest fire. My dog, Sigg, is a good bear deterrant and took the night shift guarding the food bag. If you are considering this trail, start early enough so you're not walking in the dark and bring some good jungle juice (deet). Bear bells may be useful as well. Hope this helps somebody!... |
